PUMP.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 303,340, dated August 12, 1884. Application filed December 15, 1883. (No model.)

.To all whom t may concern.-

Beit known that I, MoREIs D. TEMPLE, of

Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Pumps, and I hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which willV enable others skilled in the art to `which my invention re lates to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part hereof, and in which the'figure represents a central vertical section of a pump barrel, stock, valve-seat, stem, and bucket, the remaining parts being shown in full.

rIhc object ot' my invention is to construct a pump with a bucket and cheek-valve, that may be raised from their positions and re-` moved from the pump when needing repairs without disturbing the other parts thereof, and to render this operation easy by 'providing means for first -relieving them from the weight of water which they support.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts.

In the drawing, A represents the pumpstoc'k; B, the pump-barrel; C, the pumpbucket, and d its valve.

e is a freely-swinging dependent bail attached to the lower end of the bucket. Said bail c is represented as caught under one of a series of hooks, g, attached to the stem 7c above the valve 7L. Said stem 7c extends upward and terminates in a point, f, a suiiicient distance above the hooks g to raise the valve d when the bucket is depressed enough to catch ahook, g, with the bail e, as shown. Thevalvehplays upon a valve-seat, j, having cars or a flange, i, by means of which it is fastened tothe pumpstem It', which plays in the guide-tube l, at`

tached by arms to the valve-seat j, in which it works freely, and is made of sufficient length to keep its place under all ordinary circumstances. The bucket works above the point f high enough to prevent interference during pumping. Vhen removal ofthe checkvalvc is desired, the bucket is lowered until the bail c catches under oneI of the hooks (1. By this operation thevalve d is lifted and held up by the pointfl` which is made long enough to project above the seat of the valve d, when the bail e is hooked to one of the hooks g. When the parts are placed as shown, and the bucket C is slightly raised, the valve his thereby lifted from its seat, and a free passage into the well is provided for the superimposed water. Believed ofthe weight of water, the buck et and check-valve maybe easily drawn up and out ot' the pump.

l. A check-valve provided with an upwardprojecting point,f, and hooks g, in combination with a bucket, C', provided with a dependent swinging bail, substantially as specified.

2. A pump-bucket provided with a dependent swinging bail, in combination with a checkvalve, 7L, provided with stem k, point f, and hooks g, substantially as specified.

3. A pump-bucket provided with a dependent swinging bail, and check-valve provided with stem It, hooks g, point j', and tubeZ, concentric with the stock, substantially as specified.
